The plot thickens.
It's certainly been an eventful start to the season.

I just got home from melbourne. Huge week. We were there for the whole 4 days. We went pretty much from the after party to the airport, then straight to work this morning....rooted!

I hadn't been to a GP since Adelaide in the early '90's and the cars now don't sound quite as good as the 12 and 10 cylinder cars did back then. Still pretty good though. Weather was shit except for Sunday.

They had a full grid of old F-5000 cars from the 1970's that was great to watch.

The white arrow on the main 'straightaway' is pointing to the right. An anti-clockwise track... not many of those in play is there? Turkey, Singapore, Korea, Dubai, Brazil.
About a quater of all current races.
Yanks. Always gotta be different.
This is someone's reply to that news thread...
